talk to an allstate agent. >>> here is something to keep an eye on. something weird is going on in washington that i do not yet understand. here is the back story. on this show we have done a lot of reporting on the va and the immense backlog of disability claims. for iraq and afghan veterans and veterans of earlier wars. in response to the persistence of the backlog and it getting better and not worse in recent years, the group iraq and afghan veterans of america submitted tens of thousands of signatures to the white house asking for president obama to get directly involved personally to fix the problem. now as of today a huge majority of the senate, 67 senators, have written to the president, calling for the same thing. they're asking for the president to take, quote, direct action and involvement to end the va backlog, saying our joy at their return must be reflected in commitment to helping all who served. we respectfully ask you to find a solution that ensures that no veterans are stuck in the va backlog. 67 senators. 67! everybody from dick durb
